I brought my kids one year (and we had good timing as there was a new moon) and they said they had never seen stars like that except for in a planetarium. Nothing like seeing the Milky Way galaxy in "real life"!

The shore trail near Jordan's Pond is a lot of fun and scenic. I just wasn't thinking that as the same as the Pond (which I just think of as the restaurant part).

Another recommendation for Diver Ed. My kids (9 and 7) loved that trip last summer. Land bridge also a hit - tons of starfish and if your kids like to toss a ball it's fun to do so there. Ghost tour was a complete bust - not worth it IMO. Jordan's Pond - other than the pop overs (which are yummy) there's not much to do.go to the Ranger Station when you first arrive and get one of those Jr Ranger books and go through the activities during your week. My kids also loved just poking around in all of the shops - very unique items - we didn't buy much but they had fun looking! Enjoy!!
